Draft Grade — Ravens
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Ravens: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Ravens reached some 28 spots for Jack Nelson, and value like that does not grow back.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Monheim steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kaimon Rucker
By-the-book stuff, Kaimon Rucker at Round 2, Pick 32 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick96 Rnd3 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim is a better player than slot 96 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Aubrey Burks
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Aubrey Burks. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
They paid a round early for Jaishawn Barham in pick No. 160, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at the 192nd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at Round 7, Pick 32 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
